It's definitely made me challenge my own views and more importantly my actions. I have learnt that anti racism is an action, a state of being and something that should be apparent and measurable. A big thanks to the panel for sharing their experiences and advice.

"If social workers aren’t challenging, then who on earth is?' - such an interesting + challenging discussion with the author team of #TheAntiRacistSocialWorker with @OmarMohamedSW @NimalJude @tanya_tavi @lizzyh20 + Glory Simango this evening.

Shout out and #respect to all of the young people we work with - and those we don’t - who identify as non-binary and trans on #TransDayOfVisibility

[Ruth @RuthDoesFGCs]

Good point about how most conferences and speeches about #DomesticViolence are heard by women. This is certainly my experience, men are so frequently not part of the conversation.

[Ruth @RuthDoesFGCs]

Great to hear @David_Challen talking to @GloriaDePiero on @TimesRadio speaking out for men to take action to stop #ViolenceAgainstWomen and #CoerciveControl

[Ruth @RuthDoesFGCs]

@RightsandPartic @researchIP Great work!!
